Directed by Daniel Noah, only his second feature since his debut in 2001, Max Rose premiered at the Cannes Film Festival with dozens of photographers, multiple video cameras and hundreds of highly excitable guests in attendance. Why so much fanfare and a circus like atmosphere for such a relatively small screening? It’s all because of [...]
Hirokazu Koreeda’s latest in a run of tender explorations of family dynamics rests on a rather unusual high concept, the idea of two children being swapped at birth in a hospital and the error not being discovered until much later. The two children, six year-old boys named Keita and Ryusei, have had very different experiences [...]
Nicolas Winding Refn gained something of a cult following after Drive, his previous team up with Ryan Gosling, and the film even gained the Danish filmmaker a number of fans who would most likely usually favour more mainstream fare. His and Gosling’s follow-up, Only God Forgives, has just premiered at Cannes, playing in Competition, but [...]
Adi (Vijay Varma) arrives full of idealistic enthusiasm for his first day as a cop, but he quickly learns that the police force may not be the honest guardians of justice that he thought they were. He’s quickly embroiled in the deep rooted corruption of the police department when he’s instructed to cover up the [...]
In a similar vein to his most recent project Carlos, renowned French filmmaker Olivier Assayas returns with Something in the Air, yet again proving his distinct talent for placing the viewer in a particular period, and immersing us within this world unbeknown to our own, as a director who has a real knack for finding [...]
The Greenwich Village Folk scene of the early sixties provides the setting for the Coen Brothers’ wonderfully meandering portrait of a struggling folk musician. The folk setting does not define Inside Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) though, Llewyn is in many ways more a representative of artists in general and in particular one struggling to have [...]
If you speak to just about anyone over the age of 30, they’ll tell you that hangovers get worse with age. Well, on this evidence, they’re right, as we get ready to step back into Todd Phillips’ The Hangover franchise, with the third and – thankfully – final addition to the celebrated comedy. Having survived [...]
Whilst Side Effects has received a lot of publicity for potentially being Steven Soderbergh’s last film, the HBO produced Behind the Candelabra is currently playing in competition at the Cannes Film Festival and will receive a theatrical release throughout Europe next month. ‘TV Movies’ have played Cannes before and they will no doubt play here [...]
Takashi Miike returns to Cannes with perhaps his most conventional film yet, an overblown but highly entertaining thriller about five cops transporting a despicable child murderer across Japan. Tatsuya Fujiwara, who is perhaps best know in the West for his portrayal of the naive and sweet Nanahara in Kinji Fukasaku’s Battle Royale, plays Kiyomaru, the [...]
Broadchurch is the immensely popular, and some might say surprise, hit TV drama of the year so far with David Tennant and Olivia Colman in the starring roles against a backdrop of gorgeous Dorset scenery and a puzzling death of a young boy in a quiet seaside community. Enter grizzled detective DI Alex Hardy (David [...]
Rivalling DreamWorks and Pixar animation studios is certainly no easy task, but Blue Sky Studios are triumphantly getting along with things, consistently making a profit on their reasonable back catalogue. Boasting the likes of Rio and the popular Ice Age franchise, they now return with Chris Wedge’s Epic, an adventure in the Honey, I Shrunk [...]
Jodorowsky returns with his first feature film in over twenty years – his last being the rather disappointing and atypical The Rainbow Thief – the bewitching La Danza de la Realidad (The Dance of Reality). An adaptation of his autobiographical book of the same name La Danza de la Realidad is obviously a deeply personal [...]
François Ozon, the former enfant terrible of French Cinema, returns after his career best In the House with a rather sedate, even if it is occasionally mildly provocative, character study into the sexual awakening of a seventeen year-old girl. Isabelle, the girl in question, is played by Marine Vacth, an actress for who this will [...]
A depressing insight into a poor family in Mexico makes for uneasy if occasionally powerful viewing in Heli, Amat Escalante’s third feature following Sangre in 2005 and Los bastardos in 2008. Heli is named after its central character, a poor young man who works at a local Japanese Automobile factory and lives with his partner, [...]
There are too few hirsute funny men in the world. The smooth, or pretentiously stubble’d, of chin still dominate at making us chortle. Fortunately charismatic comedian Craig Campbell will continue to right that wrong when he debuts his eccentric live show on iTunes this week. Already well established on the circuit and still touring his [...]
Based on real events and inspired by an article in Vanity Fair, Sofia Coppola’s latest directorial turn concerns itself with those that emulate the kind of characters she has previously devoted whole films to; Dorff’s Johnny Marco in Somewhere, Kirsten Dunst as Marie Antoinette and to a lesser extent Bill Murray’s Bob Harris in Lost [...]
If possible, it’s important to distance yourself from the original F. Scott Fitzgerald novel of which this Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby is based upon, as although naturally sharing the same narrative as the 1925 masterpiece, comparisons are somewhat futile, as this is so much more a lavish, typically grandiose Luhrmann production, than [...]
It seems cameraman-cum-director Craig Viveiros fancies himself as a bit of a ‘British Tarantino’ with his second feature, The Liability. He even employs the services of one of Pulp Fiction and Resevoir Dogs’ actors, Tim Roth, to evoke that clever magic. Indeed, at the heart of this road movie is a more superior, darkly comedic [...]
Like the characters in the franchise, director Justin Lin reassembles his trustworthy team of writers Chris Morgan and Gary Scott Thompson to pen another episode of the adrenaline-pumping, big-action smashing and testosterone-dripping Fast & Furious mayhem that throws reality and caution to the wind in Version 6. Rio’s favelas played host last time in 2011 [...]
Joe Toy (Nick Robinson) is fed up with his life at home. His older sister is moving away and he can’t bear the thought of spending the whole summer at home alone with his father (Nick Offerman), who we first meet mercilessly chastising Joe for masturbating in the shower. Ever since his mother died his [...]
